    Fermenter temperature

    I have a glycol chiller that connects to a temp twister coil inside of my fermenter and the temperature probe from the chiller is inside a thermowell that goes down parallel to the coil, approximately 3 inches away.

    Low Pre-boil & Original Gravity, but High Final Gravity

    your expected ABV would have been (1.060-1.020)*131.25=5.2%. Actual ABV is (1.053-1.0096)*131.25=5.7%. There is more difference between the actual OG and FG (1.06-1.02=.04) than the estimated numbers (1.053-1.0096=.0434), which means more sugar was eaten and more alcohol produced.

    Fly sparging on a eHERMS system

    I have a 3 vessel HERMS system and I fly sparge. I have never worried about the amount of sparge water that I transfer from the HLT because I've only been concerned about hitting my boil volume. My question is whether this is the better process, or would I increase my extraction by only sparging...
